A New Bluebird Family

Back in February I posted Making a Bluebird House about an easy project I found online on how to build a bluebird box. After assembling and setting out the birdhouse, a family of Eastern Bluebirds were moving in the very next day.

Throughout the months I watched the couple come and go, and I knew that a larger family would soon emerge.

The male bird fed the family daily, and he was vigilant in watching over the new hatchlings. The sound of the chicks reverberated as he arrived with food.

The chirping stopped one day, and the family was gone. I was not sure what had happened for almost two weeks, but I finally got to see the now growing new arrivals.

They were so much fun to watch as he taught them to search for food while keeping them fed at the same time. Now the female is back on the nest, and they are starting all over again.

Thank you so much Cindy! The bluebirds really have been so much fun to watch and I hope to have more chicks this year too. We do have eggs right now! And they are so cute! I’m so happy you stopped by! 😃

Well thank you! I love the bluebirds and they have just been a wonderful blessing! We have a new family on the nest now with eggs, and they have been so much fun to watch. I can’t wait to hopefully see new chicks soon, and I will definitely post! Thank you for the follow too and I loved your site and amazing photography! 😃

I look forward to seeing the new babies. I used to see bluebirds when I lived in upstate NY. The preserve near us had nestboxes like this and it was always a treat to watch them. Haven’t seen them since moving to Florida 6 years ago. Yours are a huge treat.

Thank you so much! They really were so much fun to watch and so funny! They did follow the poor male everywhere and somehow he managed to get them fed! They have a new nest of chics just hatched so he’s feeding new babies now! 😃

Thank you so much! That is really awesome! I know they are so much fun to watch! I’ve had several people say they have nest in plants and I’ve never seen that! I love that! I’m so happy you enjoyed them and thanks again for the wonderful comment! 😃

You are welcome. Yes my son is loving it! We came across the nest by accident when my wife went to water the plants. It was so cool to see what they had already done. Do you have a water bath for the birds? Was thinking of getting one.

That was a fantastic surprise and birds are so much fun for kids! I know your son is really enjoying that! I do have a birdbath that I got earlier this year and they are just now starting to use it with the weather getting warmer. Hoping to get some good shots soon! 😃

Thank you so much! Birds are so much fun to watch and you are right, thier behavior can be so funny sometimes. I love that they used your flowerpot! I’ve never seen that before. So happy you stopped by and enjoyed the post! 😃

Thank you so much David! They were so funny to watch when he was trying to feed them but could only get one bug at a time. Think he might have been a little frustrated during that shot. I’m so happy you liked it! 😃

Thank you so much Christine for the wonderful comment! They have been so much fun and it really was a amazing surprise to see the chics. They are so cute and healthy and I’m so happy you enjoyed them too! 😃

Thank you so much Ruth! They really were so much fun to watch and so funny as they tried to eat just about everything! The poor male had to be exhausted but it was definitely worth it! They were so cute! 😃
